I have a calcium hypochlorite tablet is my pool floater currently but the chlorine level is still low would it

be ok to add chlorine bleach to help get my chlorine level back up or should I shock? All of my other water readings are within normal ranges.

Actually, bleach is a form of shock. It's liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite). It's usually cheaper to buy bulk chlorine from a pool shop though than to rely on the smaller bottles of bleach but they are actually the same as long as the bleach manufacturer hasn't put any additional materials in it for fabrics. Regular, old fashioned bleach is exactly the same though, as liquid Chlorine Shock.
Using any form of shock, be it liquid or granular is only a temporary boost to the chlorine levels in a pool. It's designed that way. It's meant to quickly oxidize left over organics by elevating the chlorine levels past what's called breakpoint chlorination and then go away. If it didn't go away, you'd never be able to swim. You're an organic
On average, you ought to be shocking once a week as well, just get the residual up past breakpoint for a short period. Don't rely on just chlorine pucks to keep your pool clear. There will come a time when (like now) they may not be able to kill all the nasties just by themselves and the chlorine gets overwhelmed by the sheer number or organics.
Do it at night or near dusk. Everyone is finished with the pool for the day and lack of UV rays from the sun will stop the shock getting zapped out quite so quickly meaning you can use less to do more, saving you some money
Your chlorine levels can be low due to a lot of factors like stabilizer levels, bather load and even the weather, just to name a few. Chances are though that it's your dispenser at fault. Those floaties just don't work that well. Not very much water gets through them to dissolve the pucks to put the chlorine into the water where it can do some good. There are a few options here. 1/Add more pucks to the floatie or use smaller ones called tabs. These dissolve better but you'll have to keep the floatie full or nearly so. 2/Most floaties have a settings dial that opens slots in the body of the feeder. Open them up. 3/ Tether the floatie near your return jet or in front of the skimmer (only if you have no heater). That will increase water flow through the unit and also the chlorine dispensed. 4/If you have no heater, put some pucks in the skimmer basket. If you do have a heater, don't as it can corrode the heat exchanger being that close upstream to the equipment Everything else, equipment wise, is fine as these days it's all chlorine rated plastics 5/ Buy an offline or Inline Chlorinator. These tend to cost about 120 bucks and require a little basic plumbing knowledge to install but the average home owner can do it and they work far better than any floatie and are easy to operate. They also tend to dispense chlorine more evenly throughout the pool and at a constant rate that you can easily vary as they have a numbered output dial.
